In taking moments, the 2kN force has the same direction as the vertical distance on 1m, so its moment will be 0. If you get confused, you can always calculate M = r x F, where x is the cross product operator.

Im dont quite understand sorry, i would understand if the force was acting through the point i am taking momoments about but how can the 2KN force x distance away not cause a moment
